+(Although there are no books that cover all the material in the slides in OSD.5, however, reading Chapter 5, “Kernel Synchronization”, of the book, “Understanding the Linux Kernel”, 3rd Edition, may help understand some of the material on synchronization in the slides in OSD.5.pdf. Reading Chapter 1 to Chapter 3 of the book "MicroC/OS-II The Real-Time Kernel", 2nd Edition, may help understand some of the material on μC/OS-II in the slides in OSD.6.pdf. Both books have been put on reserve for 2-hour loans at Steacie Library)

+MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE MATERIAL IN THE SLIDES. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THE EMPHASIS OF TEST 2 WILL BE ON MATERIAL THAT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED SO FAR, THE MATERIAL IN TEST 2 MAY STILL DEPEND ON KNOWLEDGE OF PREVIOUS MATERIAL.
+PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE USING THE MOST RECENT/UP-TO-DATE VERSION OF THE SLIDES/LECTURE-NOTES TO PREPARE FOR TEST 2, AS THE SLIDES/LECTURE-NOTES MAY HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO IMPROVE CLARITY OR TO REMOVE ERRORS.
+ALSO NOTE THAT DRAWING THE SAME KIND OF DIAGRAMS AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE SLIDES, WILL BE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF TEST 2.
